What People Say

Stage Dancewear UK

The Super Convention was our second experience with CYD? and it certainly did not disappoint. We had an incredible weekend, not only being able to sell our many brands, but also the exposure the event provides, both at the event and afterwards. We met so many of our #stagedancewearfamily there and had many more join us too. The support from the CYD? team was incredible, from initial enquiry to the event itself. It was so lovely to work with such a professional, friendly and welcoming team and the event was so well organised. We loved our stand position, LOVED the buzz and atmosphere…. and to be exhibiting amongst the dance world’s leading brands and names was just fantastic for us. It was great to network with other exhibitors. All in all a brilliant success for us so much so we had no hesitation in signing up for next year!

Performers College

CYD? has been a great platform to help Performers College target audiences all over the UK. It is a great event that allows us to connect with teachers, parents and students. We always get a warm welcome from the CYD? team! – Tracey Lee, Principal of Performers College

Simply Stella

Simply Stella has attended the CYD? conventions for almost four years. We’ve seen their popularity really grow in this time and we believe CYD? has become the premier UK touring dance convention, they are always first on our list when planning our dance year ahead. They have managed to keep their very personal hands-on approach while expanding and all of the conventions are relaxed, fun, full of positive energy and suitable for all levels/ages. Simply Stella is super excited to see what they have in store for 2019!!! We can’t wait to see the choreography lineups and meet all of our dance friends both old and new at these amazing events.

Adam Scott, Tutor

I have been a part of the Can You Dance UK faculty for 2 years and it has been an absolute pleasure. The main focus on these events has always been to inspire the younger generation and the CYD? staff accomplish this EVERY time. I love teaching classes in such a supportive environment, where children can train and grow from tutors, teachers and fellow dancers. There are loads of colleges and exhibitors to see during your “free” moments at the convention which is always worth a browse. I am so thankful to Tom, Matt & everyone at CYD? for putting together such a beautiful family environment that I can be part of, where students and teachers are aspiring to learn and progress in this competitive industry.
